Even the most die-hard Chicagoans can admit there’s something special about autumn in New York City. But if you find yourself in a New York state of mind with no time to travel to Manhattan this fall, fear not. Here’s a selection of events and dining options that bring a bit of New York City to the North Shore.
In a New York State of Mind
BROADWAY’S BEST
NEW YORK NOSH
Best known for his eponymous fashion label, Isaac Mizrahi is also an author, TV personality and stage performer. The born and bred New Yorker brings his talents to the area this October, dishing on everything exciting and new in pop culture and social media, and performing a range of songs that will “leave you with cultural whiplash.” October 28. northshorecenter.org Straight from a successful off-Broadway run, Colin Mochrie of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci present Hyprov: Improv Under Hypnosis. The critically acclaimed show combines hypnosis and improv for a totally original comedy experience crafted solely from the minds and suggestions of the audience. November 3. northshorecenter.org Tony-nominated Broadway production and New York Times Critics Pick The Prom arrives at Northwestern University’s Wirtz Center this November. The Prom follows four eccentric Broadway stars in desperate need of a new stage. When they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know it’s time to spotlight the issue – and themselves. November 10-19. wirtz.northwestern.edu
When it comes to delis, New York reigns supreme, but you can find some excellent options on the North Shore. Once Upon a Bagel ( onceupononline. com ), with locations in Highland Park and Winnetka, bills itself as “the North Shore’s finest deli” and offers standards like bagels and lox, matzo ball soup, and baked goods. Insider tip: they also have great tacos! New York’s now-defunct Dean & DeLuca pioneered the gourmet grocery concept from its original store in SoHo. On a smaller but evidently more durable scale is Foodstuffs ( foodstuffs.com ), which offers a fantastic selection of sandwiches, soups and prepared foods from its four North Shore locations. When you need a break from Chicago-style pizza, try the new Sal’s Pizza in Wilmette ( pizzabysal.com ), offering hand-tossed New York pies with loads of topping options and large slices perfect for folding. Highland Park’s New York Slices ( mynewyorkslices.com ) is also a tasty place for a Big Apple-style pie. In New England, they’re known as “half-moons,” and in parts of the Midwest, “harlequins.” They’re the black and white cookie, a quintessential New York treat, delicately glazed in a layer of half-brown, half-white frosting. Find them at Bennison’s Bakery in Evanston ( bennisonscakes. com ) or Kaufman’s Deli in Skokie ( kaufmansdeli.com ).
